Pilling/Bobbling and Snagging

The fabrics we use for our sportswear are produced in Europe by some of the world’s top technical fabric manufacturers. As such they have each been rigorously and thoroughly tested for their suitability and durability. We are therefore VERY confident that you will not experience a fabric fault.

We use market leading Italian fabrics in all of our garments. These fabrics have been extensively tested and are hard wearing and entirely suitable for purpose, HOWEVER you must take care with your garments as they can easily snag or pil if they come into contact with sharp or rough objects.

If your garment shows signs of isolated rubbing, snagging or piling (bobbling) this is most likely due to it rubbing on something sharp or rough, or catching on part of your bike, clothing or another sharp object.

Please check your bike for saddle studs, wires, velcro, seat bags, mud guards etc. Ensure that you do not sit on rough or splintered seating, take care with the under side of wooden picnic tables and and ensure that the zips and velcro fastenings of the other garments you wear do not rub and cause damage.

Pilling and snagging of this type is not a fabric/garment fault.

About our Products

Our sportswear is handmade in Europe, in a family run factory, which has been making sportswear for over 35 years. With access to the latest Italian technical fabrics and a wealth of knowledge about their industry, it’s no surprise that they manufacture for some of the best names (including Fat Lad At The Back, of course) in the business.

Garment Testing

Our garments are thoroughly tested by a variety of Fat Lads and Fat Lasses and are constantly evolving based on their feedback and that of our customers.

Faulty Goods

Occasionally, it has been known for something to be not quite right, not up to scratch or not tickety boo. If you consider your garments to have a fabric or manufacturing fault we need to know about it as soon as possible. In the first instance, please drop us an email to fatlads@fatladattheback.com with your order number and photo’s of your garment.

We may need to see your garment and you will have to send it to our office. We will refund the postage at our discretion and only if we consider that your garment has a genuine fault. We will refund or replace garments if we consider them to be faulty. Please see Pilling/Bobbling and Snagging above.

PLEASE EMAIL US BEFORE RETURNING FAULTY ITEMS.

WE DO NOT OFFER A LAUNDRY SERVICE AND WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY RETURNED GARMENTS, WHATEVER THE CIRCUMSTANCES, WHICH ARRIVE SOILED AND DIRTY.

Washing and Care Instructions

DO avoid snagging by ensuring that jersey and jacket zips are fastened and that your garments are not washed with other items which have zips, sharp trims or Velcro.

DO check your bike for saddle studs, wires, velcro, seat bags, mud guards and anything else with sharp or rough edges, as these can cause damage to your garments.

DO ensure that you do not sit on rough or splintered seating, take care with the under side of wooden picnic tables and and

DO ensure that the zips and velcro fastenings of the other garments which you wear, do not rub and cause damage

Fasten all zips and Fastenings

Our garments can be machine washed at 30°C

Line dry

DO NOT tumble dry

DO NOT dry items with reflective transfers and logos on radiators - the heat source will cause damage to the transfer.

DO NOT use fabric conditioner - it reduces the performance and contributes to the deterioration of technical fabrics.

Sometimes Things Go Wrong!

Although our Fat Lads always try to do their best, they do make mistakes (they can be distracted, especially when they are hungry).

Please get in touch with us, quoting your order number and we will do what we can to put it right.

P.S. Politeness goes a long way here at FLAB HQ - Please try not to be uppity. If you're nice to us, you'll find that we're really nice back and that means that everyone ends up having a better day!
